Missed opportunity

I remember wondering about the Show a few months back but seeing as islandscape couldn't make it I kind of forgot about it.
Then this morning I started noticing comments about an impending Blipmeet - but it took me till lunchtime to work out what was planned - by which time the meeting time had passed!
I knew the budget wouldn't stretch to a major shopping splurge but now I realise I could have met 30 plus blippers and I am gutted!! I only live 10 minutes away!!!!
(Grrr....)
